Teaching Assistant Level 2

All Saints is a highly successful, oversubscribed, 11-18 Catholic Voluntary Academy within the St Clare CMAT. At the last OFSTED inspection in October 2023 the school remained Good. As a wholly inclusive school community we share a clear and ambitious vision for high quality education for all. Staff at all career stages are supported to access innovative and research led CPD and there is a culture of continuous development.

We wish to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced person to work with the Special Educational Needs Team within the Learning Support Department, providing support for the learning, personal care, communication and physical needs of students.

The ability to support access to the curriculum in a secondary school, both within the mainstream classroom and with individual programmes of study, is essential. Candidates will have experience of working with pupils with different learning and behavioural needs and will be able to use their initiative and work as part of a team.

All Saints is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks. In addition, this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and a self-disclosure is required for applicants shortlisted for interview.

We are committed to fairness and social justice and welcome applications from everyone.
